Atrus Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Im not sure on those models myself. They look a bit busy and cluttered. Not a fan of the helmet or those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well they definitely have the 'Walking Church" feel, so if that's the aesthetic you want in your Sisters then the WGE models can't be beat. I don't think I'll get them though, the price point is just too high for a third-party product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hod Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I love 'em. With a black and gold theme all of that detail could pop like crazy. I would love to paint them, but . . . I agree with what was said above, $80USD is too steep for a non-GW product. And most of us Sister players are saving up for the GW Sister release later this year ( ) and don't want to blow our load prematurely (as they say).

taikishi Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What confirmation do you have of a Sisters release later this year? You know hope eventually leads to heresy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Grimskull Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What confirmation do you have of a Sisters release later this year? You know hope eventually leads to heresy, right? Not hope. Faith, my brother (or sister) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hod Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 What confirmation do you have of a Sisters release later this year? You know hope eventually leads to heresy, right? As Lord Grimclaw so elegantly put, no confirmation, just faith . . . And the thought that GW has a year lead time and after Celestine's success, I bet it was out on the schedule ASAP.

tvih Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well, frankly they could've sold a dog turd with Celestine's rules and it would've sold like hotcakes. And I'm sure they know that, as such her success probably doesn't mean much for the rest of the Sisters. Veridyan is a better indicator. I don't know how much it sold overall, but initially definitely more than they seemed to expect. I still don't have Veridyan since my FLGS never was able to get their hands on it, and I haven't wanted it bad enough to order direct from GW since I'd have to either pay postage or order other things in addition.

You're right Veridyan is a better indicator, but she sold out almost within the first weekend she was available. She was released in Dec. of 2016, so it's been over a year. It may only be within that place deep inside me where the God Emperor and I have chats, but I have faith in 2018 being the year of the Plastic Sisters.

TheOneTrueZon Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'll have some pics of the sprues up here in short order. They've already shipped mine! Say what you want about the price, WGE has quality better than forge world and fulfillment which is pretty fething fast for Russia to California.

Malus Trux Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yeesh there's a lot of not sisters options now. Raging, grim, anvil, wargames and now Shieldwolf is entering the fray too: http://www.shieldwolfminiatures.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Don't leave out Heresy Lab; their KS just launched today, and has some good minis for Sergeants, Heroes, and Characters. It's worth checking out, and the price point isn't bad. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/heresylab2/heresylab-scifi-heresy-girls-miniature-set?ref=email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 RE: the Shieldwolf sisters. Unfortunately I'm not really impressed with the infantry. The proportions seems a bit off to me, and the poses seem static and awkward. I love the vehicles, however, they're wrapped up in a big pre-order package. Oh well....

Jack Burton Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Sorry fellas, you will never see plastic Sisters out of Games Workshop. 'Rumors' have been around since 2003. Celestine and the wonder twins were released exclusively to be used as allies for Space Marines and the other supported Imperial factions. GW couldn't have cared less if she could or could not have been used in actual Sisters armies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come hither thy humble Imperial citizen, let us pray in the cathedral so that we may restore thy wavering faith in the Glorious God Emperor that he may one day deliver upon us plastic sisters of battle.

Servant of Dante Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Ah, thanks foxlight :P I may have no interest in non-GW Sisters, but I always like to see a good anime-style Sister :D Even if her armour is kinda improperly drawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got myself five on the way. I'll see what I think about them before buying more, but at this price for a five man squad, you could get fifteen for the price of one ten man unit (if you don't mind not getting the standard and captain). Edit: I'll see if I can get off my lazy butt and take some pictures to post here when I start getting them painted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodwynDi Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 The WGE ones look great. I would order some if it wasn't for the fact they are done in resin. I have always disliked resin models, no real reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
